Within the capture of the latest Weekly Shonen Jump shared by Amami, it's announced that the spinoff manga has been officially sanctioned by Oda, though it is currently unknown if that is as far as his involvement reaches with the series. Details pertaining to Chin Piece were scarce, with Yoshikazu Amami announcing that there's a lot of details they simply can't share. With that being said, however, they were happy to share but one comment:
"I'm sorry."
